History

Artisan Center Theater opened its doors March 2003 with the southern comedy Steel Magnolias. Its first home was located in the North Hills Mall, North Richland Hills, TX. When the North Hills Mall closed in January 2005, Artisan relocated next to the former Belaire Theater in the Belaire Shopping Plaza.

The theater is located at 418 E. Pipeline Road, Hurst, Texas 76053, (817) 284-1200. Artisan produces year round plays usually totaling ten mainstage shows and ten children’s shows.

Programs

Artie's Playhouse

Shortly after opening its doors, Artisan started Artie's Playhouse, an interactive theater for children. Each play, using song, dance and dialogue, emphasizes different character values and features performances by both adults and children.

ACTing UP! Theater Arts Academy

ACTing UP! is a series of classes designed to expose children, ages 3–18, to performance in a live theater setting. Classes follow the local school district calendar, with additional workshops offered in summer months. Classes in creative dramatics, acting, musical theater, improvisation and technical skills are in session year round.
